Stanaland vs Stanaland: Football Family Showdown

Submitted by News Staff on Thu, 10/04/2018 - 10:04am

As John Stanaland prepares the Rotan Yellowhammers for this upcoming Friday night’s homecoming game against Jayton, his older brother, Josh will be cheering his encouragement from the sidelines... for the opposing team, as coach of the Jaybirds.

The Stanaland family has produced three generations of Jayton athletes, and Josh and John grew up with 6-man football in their blood. Their dad was a starting middle linebacker for the Jaybirds in the 1970s, and cousins, uncles, and nephews were all involved with Jayton football growing up.
